Tibetan Canadian Cultural Centre (TCCC)
http://www.tcccgc.org/
TCCC Inception & Background
In the spring of 2004, His Holiness bestowed the Kalachakra teaching for World Peace in Toronto to over 7,000 pilgrims Image from all walks of life. It was during this auspicious occasion that His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama gave his blessings to the organization and granted the Tibetan name Gangjong Choedenling to the proposed community centre.
In the late and early 1970s, approximately 500 Tibetans sought refuge in Canada, making them the smallest immigrant group in the country. Approximately 350 Tibetans settled in Ontario and ensured the survival and growth of Tibetan identity and culture in a multi-cultural Canada. Later, in 1998 a small number of Tibetan Refugees fron India and Nepal found Canada as their home. The influx of Tibetans in Ontario has been growing over the years and there are approximately over 4000 Tibteans currently living in Ontario. To this day, the Tibetans here have been dedicated to preserving and promoting the values of the unique Tibetan cultural heritage in Ontario.
The Tibetan Canadian Cultural Centre was acquired and established on October 17,2008 (the auspicious day when His Holiness the Dalai Lama received the US Congressional Gold Medal – the highest civilian award). It is located on 40 Titan Road at the corner of Titan Road and Islington in the city of Etobicoke. Currently the centre offers a variety of programs and services which is open to everyone.
TCCC Mission
As a community based, not for profit organization, the mission of TCCC is to preserve and foster the growth of Tibetan culture within the Tibetan community in Ontario. We are a multi-faceted organization providing programs, events, services, resources and facilities to promote an understanding and appreciation of Tibets rich culture and traditions to Canadians from all heritages.
In todays increasingly diverse and multicultural Canadian society, the goal of TCCC is to promote cross-cultural understanding and friendship between the Tibetan community and other cultural groups in Canada through education and awareness projects. As a learning centre and a place to share common interests, TCCC will not only help Tibetan immigrants adjust to the culture, heritage, and lifestyle in Canada, but it will also promote and foster Tibetan culture and art within the Tibetan community and with other cultural groups. This inspirational place of learning will provide visitors with on-going opportunities to learn and practice the Tibetan values of altruism, love, compassion and non-violence; thus promoting harmony and friendship in our diverse society.
